Vietnamese Beef & Broccoli with Onion

On my very first visit to the Vietnamese Restaurant with my friends many years ago, I stared at the menu petrified at what I might order. At that time, food from other cultures was truly a very foreign concept to me.After much time perusing the vast menu, I ordered the Beef and Broccoli with Onion only to have my friend lean over and say “So, I see you went with the safe option.” At first, I was a little offended and tried to defend my choice, but after a while, I realized I had done just what he had said and I chose the only thing on the menu that I could readily recognize. From that day on, I promised myself I would always try something new when I went to a restaurant.

I’m happy to report that I kept on with that concept and I still live by that motto and I am always trying something new on the menu when I have the opportunity to go out to dinner. But, for the beginner looking to branch out into another culture and cuisine who is looking for the “safe” option before diving right in, Beef with Broccoli and Onions is still a good choice in my opinion. It’s still one of my favorite dishes at the Vietnamese restaurant and now even in my very own kitchen.

Listed below is a house recipe from the proprietor of my local Asian market. He is always happy to share recipes and information with me whenever I go by to pick up some groceries. His family recipes are always a welcome edition to my kitchen.
